    Hip / Lower Torso Shots?

    I just saw this video where Michael Janich points out that disabling shots to the hip / lower torso region are safer to bystanders. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEFTGoJ-FIs

    Hot wax for sealing nipples?

    Bet I got your attention with that subject :what: I'm interested in sealing the caps onto the nipples better for loaded storage. I've heard of people using nail polish, but it seems that would make cleaning even harder. What about hot wax? Will it set off the cap? I'm thinking of using a...

    ROA Hunting Conicals

    I've shot Kaido's 255g conicals right through 8inch spruce trees with 35g of 777. No creep like I've had with other conicals; they shave a nice ring when loaded.

    Making homemade percussion caps

    I'd be scared of an accidental discharge when putting homemade caps into place on the nipple. This should last me a year or two. Anybody know how long they'll keep if I get more? Are some brands better than others for long-term storage?

    CCW Diaper Bag?

    I'm looking for a bag that can be used as a diaper / toddler accessories bag that has a good method of carrying a full-size handgun. I've seen the MaxPedition stuff, anything else? Bonus points for pink camo :p I have a daughter. If anyone has used a MaxPedition I'd be interested in which model...

    The RUGER OLD ARMY Club

    To see if a .454 will work, just load one, and when you press it in see if it shaves a ring of lead. If it shaves a ring it has a good seal and you can load more. If it doesn't, then just fire that one chamber then head to the store and get some .457s :D For high power loads, I've been having...

    Transport through New York state

    Unfortunately some of us have to go through New York state to get to the rest of the country. I read somewhere that firearms are covered by the "Safe Passage Act" but that magazines are not. Does anybody know details? What about non-firearms such as knives and muzzleloaders? Many locking...

    Large bore pistol for deer?

    Kaido's 255g with 35g of 777 should do the job nicely. I've been seeing a lot more penetration with these than roundballs, and the kick is hefty.

    What size/make of, caps do y'all use on yer ROA's ?

    I use Remington #10 and #11. I've had my ROA about a year and a half and have put about 500 rounds through it. Stock 7.5" stainless, adjustable sites. Got two extra deepened cylinders as well. Been using 777. I've had one cap jam. I don't remember why exactly but it was dirty or a weird load...

    Pros and cons on using a loading stand for BP cylinders.

    "The plunger on the gun is also steel, so your warning is really meaningless. " The gun's plunger is a better fit so it's less of a worry, but it's still possible.

    Cleaning frequency of ROA

    I completely strip and clean my ROA pretty much every-other time I shoot it, or always after a big session. Mine is stainless and I use 777. I'm looking into getting an ultrasonic cleaner that I can put the parts in to save some time, and then I'll completely clean it every time.
